Whenever we visit Charlotte, we know we’re in for a weekend of good eats and good friends. This past weekend, we brought Cristo Disco from ATL to play at the monthly SWARM event on the Camden block. Also, we dropped off the new season of PROCESS gear at Black Sheep, Charlotte’s definitive Skate Shop. Myk from DMN posted some photos of our weekend. Check them out here.

This past Saturday, EC/Process participated in the first ever Gather Atlanta that took place at Eyedrum. We were lucky enough to meet some new faces and even run into some old friends. Thanks to everyone that came out and to Gather Atlanta for having us apart of the event. More photos after the jump.
The EC/PROCESS crew will be participating in Gather Atlanta, an annual networking event which seeks to unite and promote Atlanta’s emerging galleries, alternative art spaces, and young creative collectives (presented by MINT Gallery, BurnAway, WonderRoot, and ThoughtMarker).
The show will be taking place on June 6th from 6 to 9pm at Eyedrum.
By the way, check out the sweet logo designed by our own, Erin Warner. Give it up for our girl!
As a thank you to everyone who has come to our events, modeled in our photo shoots, spread the word, and purchased something from our online store, we’re offering FREE Domestic Shipping on PROCESS goods all month long.
Save a few extra bucks where it counts from June 1st—30th. It’s that simple.
Thanks!
If you missed out on SWARM: Atlanta Edition last Friday night, you won’t be any of these photos by Hadi. You can, however, see how much fun we had with our Charlotte friends!

Here’s a photo of Bernard McCoy (the man behind Modern Atlanta) from the MA09 “Design is Human” Kickoff Party we attended last Friday evening. It was great hanging with all of our professional creative friends all under one roof for a few hours. Check out Kevin Byrd’s flickr photoset of the night here.
Relish, the creative event design company that burst into the Atlanta scene planning and executing the PROCESS launch circuit in March is now up to something pretty big. Pretty big, pretty yummy, and totally free. Free Pie!
The catalysts, Melissa and Reena, have this to say: “The world is kinda crazy. FREE PIE isn’t. Join a burgeoning movement. Make a pie. Pick a spot. Give it Away. Yep, it’s that simple - no strings, no logos, no agenda - just a random act of kindness.”
This Saturday, May 16, starting at 2:00pm, free pieces of homemade pie will be given away at over a (baker’s) dozen locations around the city. Go here for more info on locations to grab a slice and how to sign up to help if you’re interested!

This past Saturday night, we were involved in the Hat Trick event at Halo Lounge. The guy in the photo sporting the Nokahoma fitted and Tomahawk tee is Chris Mosier.

Tonight, join the crew at El Bar with special guest, DJ Rashida, on the turntables. You may have seen her on stage with Prince, or on MTV on America’s Best Dance Crew. She’s major!
Don’t know what to wear? I’d suggest swinging by Standard 1841 and picking up a PROCESS tee…
Our buddy, Myk Pate, sent me this photo of him and BLNGxBDGT (Bling on a Budget) on the Camden block in Charlotte. If you didn’t already know, PROCESS is available at Black Sheep located at the fork on Camden Road. It’s great to see the line being embraced by what is quickly becoming our home away from home.
As a side note, we’re bringing BLNGxBDGT to El Bar on May 22nd in what will be the 1st of many SWARM [ATL Edition] parties that we’re throwing in conjunction with Kitchworth. Fun times coming this summer!
This is kind of a big deal. Both Klever and Craze will be at El Bar tonight in what is sure to be memorable. Email rsvp@elbaratl.com for sure entry and more details.
On March 28, 2009, the youth of our city will capture the images and stories very seldom heard or rarely ever seen in the 2nd Annual Through Their Eyes Art Gallery hosted at Octane Coffee Bar & Lounge.
This year 20 Atlanta Public School students will come together to document their life, schools and community. Using their creative abilities and interpretation, they will capture their realities through the lens of Holga and film cameras.
Epidemik Coalition has worked with some of these students through Essential2life’s PUSH program. They create some amazing work with what little they have. It will be worth your time to stop by Octane and check out their documentary photographs of their everyday life. Join us in supporting Atlanta’s next generation of creatives.

7:30pm - 9:00pm

From time to time, the crew at Standard will ask us to design flyers for their upcoming parties, events, and in-store appearances/performances. This week, we’re excited that the event involves hip-hop-blog-friendly rapper, Wale. He will be hanging out with us from 5 to 7pm before his ATL show later that evening. Dubbed, a “Listening Party”, the only thing I could imagine we’d be graced with hearing are tracks from his super-hyped and anticipated LP, Attention Deficit. The first single, Chillin’ featuring Lady Ga Ga, is poppy, nostalgic, and full of name-drops and product mentions. It’s definitely going to be a summer jam (whether you want it to be or not).

Last Friday, we arrived in Charlotte about 3 hours before the Laced Up show at The Forum with our custom custom PROCESS Chukka boots in hand. Just enough time to drop them off with the show’s coordinators, grab a bite to eat, and get back to the show. Thanks a million to our Queen City friends for showing us around town, giving us the VIP treatment, and for the endless hospitality.
Shout outs: Radar for letting us crash at his pad and for the endless shenanigans (videos will surface on the internet), A.C., Camila with Blu Magazine, Myk with D.M.N., Shane, BLNGxBDGT, Bobby and Niche, Josh and Black Sheep, Ryan O’Malley for the sweet prints and the basement tour of the Davidson College archives, and everyone else we met or forgot to mention.

Part of the our crew will be heading up to Charlotte for tonight’s Laced Up sneaker event at The Forum. We were given this pair of Vans Chukka boots a few weeks back and the first thing we had to do was mask the soles with tape before we sprayed the canvas sneakers with the color we wanted. I don’t want to give away what our custom sneaker looks like, so I’ll leave you with a hint. It was inspired by the Bombera illustration Georgios made for the PROCESS line. If you’re in Charlotte, come out tonight for the big reveal. Everyone else, stay tuned because we’ll have photos from the show and more making-of shots very soon.
Here are some selects from the PROCESS Launch Circuit events at El Bar that took place from 10pm to 3am last Friday. I’ve never seen so many people packed into the EL at once. It’s great to see the right people in our city have our back! THANK YOU ATL!
There are a ton of photos from the night that I wasn’t able to post. To see the full photoset, head over to John Ellis’ website here.
